On the Run

[Intro: Lenny Kravitz and Mos Def]

Fire!

(Always on the run)

Streets respond to Mos and Mark Ronson

Call the fire chief to inspect the arson

Y’all got problems, Brooklyn is in the buildin’

We built the buildin’

[Verse 1: Mos Def]

Easy to touch but it’s hard to hold

Easy to meet but it’s hard to know

Paste this one across ya domes and spread it out all across the globe

Heat it up and keep ‘em on dey toes

I’m like the diamond in the mine, I was born to glow

Drop hard on or off the roll

Freak daddy stroke long and slow, I break ‘em down type strong, and blow

Heading right back to B-R-O-O-K-L-Y-N, home of wild pirates

Streets without mercy, nights without silence

Me without skill is like Gods without science

Jake without sirens, life without dyin’

I’m hot without tryin’, ya heard it so now buy it

Joint come on, you start whinin’

[Hook: Lenny Kravitz, Mos Def, and M.O.P.]

(Always on the run)

Streets respond to Mos and Mark Ronson (It’s the M.O.P., we gotta!)

(Always on the run)

Brooklyn is in the buildin’, you got problems

(My Family will have you always on the run)

Whole world from the native to the foreign, I’m up on it

(Always on the run)

[Verse 2: Lil Fame]

I’m one hundred percent nigga, first fam', the army that's behind me

Will fuck up a whole city like Rudy Giuliani, you plastic

You don’t wanna go at it, so (stop)

You ain't ready for the aftermath, the matics are (pop)

I wandering with Y-H from the tri-state, ya violate

I just need to go [?] prostate

It’s the M-O-P

And we on the run for real, from the left to the ten

[Verse 3: Billy Danze]

I been hearin’ you holla (gangsta) for fifteen years now

But where you went when the shit went down

Come on now (Bang you things!)

We rugged rap singin’

Rob niggas for prattling and keep their rings

Tell your man, Bill did it he, he reeled with it, killed with it

Little pissed off homie, take the loss, deal with it

While y’all get it goin’, we’ll get it done

A million and one, my family will have you faggots on the run

[Hook: Lenny Kravitz, Mos Def, and M.O.P.]

(Always on the run)

Streets respond to Mos and Mark Ronson (It’s the M.O.P., we gotta!)

(Always on the run)

Brooklyn is in the buildin’, you got problems

(My Family will have you always on the run)

Whole world from the native to the foreign, I’m up on it

(Always on the run)

[Outro: Lenny Kravitz, Mos Def, and M.O.P.]

Yo, rhymes for real, for real, M-R-M-D (it’s the M.O.P., my nigga!)

You know what I’m sayin’

I wanna fly in the sky, let my lyric carry me

I’m gonna fly, fly, fly, fly

We have em'

(Always on the run)

Come on
